Paul refers to our body as an earthly "tent" and notes that we "groan" while living in it as we look forward to a heavenly "house."  He writes that despite the pains of our decaying body, the inner person is being renewed day by day, and everything is working toward an "eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison."  With all this in mind, and more, the Christian walks by faith.
